I am a wife. My husband and I have been together for 5 years and married for 4. I am also a mother of 4 wonderful kiddos. 3 boys and 1 girl. Our middle son is Autistic so I know quite a bit about what its like to be the mother of a special needs child. I'm starting Sowela Technical College where Business is my major. Jesus is my rock and refuge and the only way that I can make it through this day to day crazy life. I might have a foul mouth at times BUT Jesus knows my heart and still calls me His own as He does all of you as well! On January 3, 2018 I tried to end my life after a life long battle with depression. I was in a psychiatric hospital for 6 days where I learned that I needed to get help. Started counseling and was diagnosed with PTSD from a childhood and past that I could no longer run and hide from. I share all these things to let you the reader know that there's nothing to be ashamed of when you have a mental illness. It's okay to not be okay, but it's not okay to stay there. I still receive weekly to bi weekly counseling and have been in for 2 years now. I'm thankful for my journey and hope you can all grow and learn from it as well!!! Thank you for being here and for your support! Love, Faith <3
Have you ever had that one hurt that really did you in? You know, the one that stays in the back of your mind?

In this world of cruelty it takes ZERO to be kind. That man walking down the street talking to you and you give him just a glare and say nothing back. What if that’s God? What if Jesus is one of these people trying to pick up cans because he’s had a hard life? Jesus … More What if God were one of us?
Most of my life I’ve been put down for not being the smartest, prettiest, skinniest, and having a mental illness. I’ve learned in my early adult years that it isn’t about the times you fall or what others say about you. Continue to rise. Rise above what others have to say. Rise above the stigmas! … More Riser!
Everyone seems to have an idea or an opinion on how autism is supposed to “look” well I’m here to tell that’s a bunch of hocus pocus! Autism doesn’t with a manual, a warning sign, or anything else that can be seen by the naked eye. Some days there are words and laughter. Others there’s … More In our world!
You see I don’t come from money. I grew up in the hood on the south side of the tracks. I’ve been looked down upon from where I’ve been raised. I want people to always know it doesn’t matter where you’re from, where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or what you are going to do … More Why school?
Everyone always asks how do you not watch the news? If we are being perfectly honest it’s the only way I stay sane. You see being an Army wife comes with a lot of ups and downs. Upside? My husband is kind of an American badass. Infantry baby.. Grunt life.. FUN.. NOT!!!! You see although … More Being an Army wife in a time as now.
